Kailash Manasarovar Overland Tour 12 Night 13 Days

Tibet Mount Kailash Tour is a pilgrimage tour to the holy Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. Mount Kailash (6714 m) – also known as Tise, Kailasa or Kang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows) has since time immemorial been celebrated in many eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis-mundi. As the center of the physical and metaphysical universe, Mt. Meru (Kailash) is sacred to the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Jains, and the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the mountain represents the seat of Shiva. For the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the cosmic mandala of the Dyani Buddhas and Boddhisatvas .… the wheel of Life.

For the devout pilgrim a visit to Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansorovar forms the ultimate realization of their spiritual pursuit. And for the adventure-lovers it offers rugged beauty, remoteness and solitude. Each year, the month of June hosts the delightful Saga Dawa Festival while most of the other trips are planned to arrive at Mt. Kailash during the full moon period to give all participants a rare experience.
